Trivia and Quotes
Quotes
 I didn`t want to work and drag my kids with me while they were trying to cross this huge transition. I wanted them to become as stable and as confident as possible. There are people who go through this and don`t have the financial means, but I did. It wasn`t a risk; it was the right thing to do. I think we all want the same things. We all want to feel loved, and feel a part of something, but we all have self-doubt no matter where we came from.
I`m sure there are a lot of people who think I`m a bitch.
On the changes made to Nathaniel Hawthorne`s "The Scarlet Letter" (she starred in the adaptation): In truth, not very many people have read the book...the ultimate message of "Hester Prynne" would have been lost if we`d stayed with the original ending.
Once you`ve tasted a bit of success, it`s more challenging. We have to continue to be willing to take a risk so that we don`t get too safe. Unwillingness to risk failure is always there, but it gets harder when you feel you have more to lose. So the better place to keep yourself in is out of your comfort zone, willing to try even at the risk of failing. And that`s not natural to me at all. In fact, it`s completely unnatural.
The truth is you can have a great marriage, but there are still no guarantees.
There`s this idea that if you take your clothes off, somehow you must have loose morals. There`s still a negative attitude in our society towards women who use a strength that`s inherent - their femininity - in any way that might be considered seductive.
Time is an amazing equalizer. I think if you stay true to yourself and keep moving forward, things come around.
